Einband und Seiten papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. Chess endings have an immediacy lacking in chess endgame or chess problems: endings are not theoretical or composed, but actual board positions, the point in every game when the superfluous falls away, leaving only the essential. José Raúl Capablanca (18881942) had no need for isolated artistic theory or compositions he composed and created chess art as he played. All of his genius intuitive, tactical, strategic, logical all of his art shines clearest in his endings, as he himself was proud to declare, advising others to study them carefully. "In order to improve your game," he said, "you must study the endgame before anything else; for whereas the endings can be studied and mastered by themselves, the middle game and the opening must be studied in relation to the endgame." The best way to follow Capablanca's advice is through this the only book devoted to his great endings, 60 complete games emphasizing the grand finale but annotated throughout. Irving Chernev communicates in his notes the mystery and wonder as well as the delight in discovering again and again the original, fertile mind of chess's greatest born player. "Virtuoso," "exquisite," "profound," "inspired," "elegant," and "fiendish ingenuity" describe match and tournament games and endings against Alekhine, Steiner, Marshall, Nimzowitsch, Lasker, Réti, and others, the best in the contemporary chess world. Capablanca's eleventh game in the 1901 Cuban championship (which he won, aged 12) "surpasses any accomplishment by such other prodigies as Morphy, Reshevsky, and Fischer." From age 12 through the last game in the book (nearly four decades later against Reshevsky at Nottingham, 1936), Capablanca fashions endgames in tense tournament atmosphere that seem like delicate, precise instruments dreamt at leisure. Here then is the essence of Capablanca, analyzed for the instruction of players and the pleasure of chess connoisseurs. Included are indexes of openings, themes in the endings, and opponents, as well as a bibliography and record of tournament and match play. Capablanca: for players, the epitome of the endgame; for readers, a classic chess study. - Irving Chernev (* 29. Januar 1900 in Priluki; 29. September 1981 in San Francisco) war ein US-amerikanischer Autor von Schachbüchern. Leben: Er stammte aus einer jüdischen Familie und emigrierte 1920 in die USA, wo er als Musiklehrer arbeitete. Das Schachspiel hatte er mit 12 Jahren erlernt. Obwohl er es selbst nie zum Meistertitel brachte, verfügte er über ausgezeichnete Kenntnisse der Schachszene und war mit vielen Spitzenspielern persönlich bekannt. Er hatte eine große private Schachbibliothek und sagte von sich, dass wohl kein anderer Mensch so viele Schachbücher gelesen und Partien nachgespielt habe wie er. Besonders bewunderte er die Werke von Siegbert Tarrasch, dessen Buch Dreihundert Schachpartien er als seine Bibel bezeichnete. Er trug stets ein Notizbuch mit sich, in dem er interessante Positionen notiert hatte, die er gerne vor Publikum vorführte. Chernev war ein produktiver Autor und veröffentlichte mehr als zwanzig Bücher über Schach. Das zusammen mit Kenneth Harkness geschriebene Lehrbuch An invitation to chess (1945) war mit sechsstelligen Verkaufszahlen ein großer Erfolg. Das neuartige Konzept dieses Werkes bestand darin, dass zu jedem einzelnen Zug ein Diagramm abgebildet wurde, so dass die Lektüre auch ohne Schachbrett möglich war. Sehr populär war auch sein Buch Logical chess move by move (1957), in dem 33 Meisterpartien Zug für Zug so erklärt wurden, dass auch schwächere Spieler den Kommentaren folgen konnten. Noch 1998 erschien eine Neuauflage dieses Werkes. Mehrere Bücher veröffentlichte er zusammen mit Fred Reinfeld, einem anderen bekannten Schachschriftsteller, darunter Winning chess (1948) und The Fireside book of chess (1949. Codice articolo 66018
